Checklists
You should log in to your student portal to complete your pre-program requirements. Parents/guardians also receive a checklist of items to complete, sent via email, so please remind them to check their email accounts for this important information that requires action.
The usernames and passwords associated with your Brown email address will be needed prior to and during your course time. Please be sure to document all usernames and passwords.
Forms
Forms are available in your student portal and are submitted electronically through DocuSign, an electronic signature provider where you can digitally complete and sign your required forms and waivers. Most forms include sections for both students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to complete. Please note that additional requirements may be added throughout the cycle. Check your portal periodically for new requirements.

Course Orientation
Plan to log into your course in Canvas during the week of June 9 to become familiar with Canvas (Brown's learning management system), review course syllabi and learn about your instructor(s). We will send you an email with instructions explaining how to access your course. From this point on you should be using your Brown email for course-related activities and information, checking daily for course announcements and information from your instructor/instructional support staff. Throughout the summer please regularly check your Brown email account as well as the email account you used to apply to Brown Pre-College.
You will begin working with your instructor and classmates on the course itself on the course start date listed in the course catalog.
